Can you actually train your body for an easier and faster birth?
In this episode, Dr. Morgan sits down with experienced doula Krisha Crosley of Train for Birth to explore how intentional movement and physical preparation can impact your labor and delivery experience.
We break down why birth is an inherently physical and athletic event, and how modern lifestyles may be working against our bodies when it comes to labor. Krisha shares how the parents she has coached have experienced shorter and more efficient births, including an average first-time labor length of around 8 hours.
You will learn how daily movement patterns, body alignment, and simple exercises can help prepare your body for birth, support your baby’s positioning, and potentially lead to a smoother and less complicated delivery.
If you are pregnant or planning to be, and want to feel more confident and prepared for birth, this episode will give you a new way to think about training your body for the experience.
